WHAT SHALL Be DONE WITH THE GHApESf
IFrom the Union Signal.l

"LeOnard Halstead OF Lawt0n,
had 5000 ten-pound baskets OF
grapes this season on two and one
quarter acres of ground.
1t is not with any intention OF
advertising our successful hortIcul-
turist named IN the above clipping
from Michigan State news that we
use this text, but rather that we
may, in Imagination, take a stroll
together between the rows of his
fruitful vineyard, feasting our eyes
npon the lovely sight of such lus-
cious clusters, and discourse, mean
while, upon what is best to be done
with the fruit, that 1t may truly
serve the purpose ofits production.
The marvellous fruitfulness Of the
vine, its wide range of habitat, the
great excellence of the ripened clns.
ters, and the prominence and beau
ty of the use of the vine as a figure
in the Bible, have long been to me
wonderfully suggestive Of superior
excellence: and | haye reflected
that possibly we have not yet come
to a full knowledge Of its value to
US as a food product.
The important question is, "How
shall We best preserve the grape OF
these northern ATTITUDES for use
after the season of fruitage IS past !"
| will tell you what has been done
npon a small scale, to the great
comfort of such Us have partaken;
The JUICE of the grape slightly re-
duced by boiling, then sweetened
and sealed up precisely as we put
up fruits, has, when opened, proven
to be a most refreshing and deli
cious beverage. Why should we
not have more ofthis for our tables?
The product thus prepared is as
truly a food as Is milk, and is there
not some CLEAN of hope in this di'
rection for an abating of the exces'
sive use of the low grades OF stuff
sold for tea and coffee' A state
ment was made TO me not many
weeks since, by a gentleman who
has had large experience in fruit
culture in Southern Michigan, to
the effect that his wife stored quite
a supply two seasons since, in just
this manner, and they found it a
most refreshing draught the follow
ing spring and summer. If the
work is done thoroughly there is
no possible suggestion of fermenta-
ton 1t inclines more to a jell or
syrup, which can be readily reduc-
ed, if desired, with cold water, and
all that is good IN the fruit is pre-
served. The juice Of red raspber-
ries treated IN the same manner,
makes, with the addition OF a little
lemon Juice and cold water, a drink
most palatable for either sick or
well folks. / have long queried
over this proposition, and now ask
its kindly consideration by our W
CT. e. women, especially those
who are interested in the depart
. ment of state and county fairs
There might be tons and tons o.
, grapes grown where there are now
only baskets, and if this is a prac
iical scheme, and we can secure
the pure juice of the grape to be Z
I power for good, and not evil, WHY
should we not go forward with thu
, plan, and drink grape juice instead
, of poor tea and coffee? What wO
man will, the coming season, pu
up a good supply for herself an'
family, and try how the plan oper
ates and report to The Union Sig
nal

A lawyer, somewhat disgusted at
seeing a couple of Irishmen looking
at a six.sided building which he
occupied, lifted up the window

them thus: "What do you stand

cifc. The attendance on the dead
and suffering in the morning was
bad. One drunken fellow seemed
to be in charge and acted in bru-
tal manner. He, however, was
soon dismissed. The injured are
doing well. The female relatives
of the unfortunate miners are fran
tic with grief. Women with babies
clasped to their bosOms walk up
and down in front of the shaft, sob
hing and mourning. Swarms of ter
ufied Chinese are on the grounds.
One.haIf the dead, injured and im-
prisoned men leave widows and
families. 1t was believed at late
hour last night that the fire in the
air draft had been extinguished,
and that only a small body of flame
existed between the air and the
main shaft, which would probably
be conquered today, when an at
tempt will be made to force air in
and the work to rescue will begin.
cLINGING TO A DESPERATE HOPE.
By tonight it is hoped that the
men will be reached. One woman,
in conversation last night, lament
ed the loss of her husband, father,
and brother-her all. She had
given up all hope, and only prayed
to see her dead husband once more
Rer's is only one OF many cases.
The shift that came up last night
reported hearing evidence of a pick
striking on the opposite side of the
wall. The feeling now is that
"whiIe there is life there's bope,"
but that hope is very faint.

We were painfully surprised on
Thursday evening last, when Mr..
c. c. FUR came into our Office
and read us a dispatch from his
brother, Mr.. D. P. Hitter, announc-
ing the sudden death of his wife,
Mrs. Sallie Harlan Hitter, which
sad event happened in Kansas
City, Mo-, whittier Mr.. Hitter and
his family had only a few days ago
gone to reside.
Mrs. Hitter was the daughter Of
Hon. James Harlan, ST., and the
sister of Judge Jno. M. Harlan,
of the U. S. Supreme Court,
Judge James Harlan, jr., Of Lou
isville, and Mrs. DR.. James G.
Hatchitt, Of Quenemo, Kansas.
She passed through this city on
Tuesday, May 8, on her way to
her new home, and was, to all ap-
pearance, the very picture of
health, and was buoyant with hope
and happiness at the prospect OF
locating advantageously at her
new home.
For long years she had been a
consistent member of the Presby-
terian Church, and, though the
summons was sudden, it found her
not unprepared.
Alas! alas! how soon our bright
est hopes are blighted by the icy
hand of the grim destroyer.
Another playmate of our child
hood has gone to the home be-
yond. May the sod rest gently
on her peaceful bosom.
Her remains will reach here this
morning on the 1920 train, and
the burial services will take place
at our beautiful cemetery, where
she will calmly rest by the side of
her loved ones who have but gone
before.
The friends will please take no.
tice and be governed accordingly.

Our whole community was
shocked, on Monday morning, to
learn of the sadly sudden death of
Miss Henrietta Hampstead, which
occurred at the residence Of her
step-grandfather, Capt. James
Blackburn, near Spring Station,
Woodford county, on Sunday
morning,
1t appears that Miss Hampstead,
together with her uncle and aunt,
Mr.. Sam and Miss Henrietta
Blackburn, was examining a small
rifle of Mr.. Blackburn's, when, by
some unexplained and unexplain-.
able reason, the gun was discharg-
ed, the ball passing through Miss
Hempstead's heart, killing her in
stantly.
Miss Hampstead was a bright,
beautiful and accomplished lady,
just in the warm flush of young
womanhood, greatly admired and
loved by all who knew her in this
community, where she had lived
for several years.
The remains were brought to
this city on Monday, and placed in
the Flournoy vault, in our ceme-
terry, by the side of her grand
father, Mr.. w. E. Blackburn.
The sympathy of our whole
people goes out to these afflicted
ones. May God comfort them in
this sore trial.
